Special Correspondence of Gszette and journal
GEORGETOWN, May 4.--The warm
weather of the last few days has worked
great change in plant life. The buds
and blossoms are appearing ON every
been in the country for week can easily
imagine himself in more tropical coun-
try. The opinion is that there are plenty
of peaches, and that they have probably
passed the danger line.
James M. Steele, residing near town,
buried his 17-years-old daughter from
consumption yesterday.
The improvements have now begun in
earnest, and the mechanics' hammer may
be heard all around. There have been
several properties along our principal
business street and in the heart OF the
town which have lately changed hands.
They will be greatly improved during the
year,
The new temperance movement is now
the talk Of the town. Messrs. Charles Fl.
Treat, B. F. Wagamon, Charles p. Tun-
nell and the Rev. w. j. Duhadaway and
others have started a moral suasion,
non. political, non-seetarian organization,
which holds public meetings, with music
and speeches, every week, in the hall,
and which are largely attended. The
pledge Ia to abstain from all intoxicantt
for three months. Nearly 100 persons
have given their names including the
hard drinker, the moderate drinker, the
total abstainer, the mothers, the wives
and the children. r. O. White, Esq.
was the chief speaker last evening and ht
gave the / can-drink or let-it-alone mar
some hard hits. He paid his compliment
to the Legislature just adjourned and
closed with a good word for the constitu
tional convention, by which he said th'
temperance men must secure the needed
| legislation.

pearanee. The grass, shrubbery and

$50 feet in front of the cemetery, wer'
very much admired for their handsome
and substantial appearance. Adjourn
ment was made at o'clock.

Milton Slater, good-sized colored boy
who worked at Aliens briok-yard was
struck and killed on the Baltimore d
Philadelphia railroad at Silverbrook Mon
day evening. The boy who was the sole
support of his mother, lived near Ninth
and Union streets and was returning from
his work. II seems that when he walked
ON the track trains were approaching both
ways. II is thought that he did not hear
the freight train coming back Of him on
account of the west bound express which
was coming toward him. The unfor.
tunate lad was struck by the freight train
first, and hurled directly under the ap.
preaching express train, which ground
him TO pulp, and mutilated the body
fearfully.

NO PROOF THAT HE WAS REY.
The Examination Of the North Carr
0ltnM Skeleton.

THIRD CREEK, N. O., May 3.-Robert 3.
Young, M. D., OF Concord, N. O., assisted by
several other physicians, disinterred to-day
at o'clock the bones of Peter O. Ney, q
Frenchman who spent the latter part OF his
life In this section of the country. The dis
interment was made at the request of the
Historical Society of Wisconsin. Its object
was to prove or disprove the mans identity
with Napoleon's famous marshal OF the same
name.
There was an undisputed resemblance on
the part OF the Erenchman to the marshal.
Then he bore certain scars upon his head.
These facts led to the belief on the part OF
many that he was not the mere resemblance
Of the marshal but the soldier himself.
A fact leading to the exhumation was that
Marshal Neys skull had been trephined for
a wound received in battle. II the skull oil
the man buried here were found to present
evidence OF the trephine 1t would be proof
that the belief just stated was well founded.
Unfortunately the work Of decay In the
grave had been SO thorough that the bones
were badly decomposed. The left side OF
the. skull, on which 1t was hoped marks OF
The trepuine would pe found, was entirely
gone. This leaves the matter still in doubt.
No metal plate was found. The finding OF
such plate would be conclusive.
